Meeting
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Genghis Khan Statue Complex, Nalaikh, Ulaanbaatar 12593 Mongolia
The gigantic steel equine statue mounted by Genghis Khan himself is the largest statue of an equestrian in the world.
This 40 m tall statue is located on a hillside on the bank of the Tuul River in an area called Tsonjin Boldog and connected to capital Ulaanbaatar by 54 km paved road.
Tsonjin Boldog was chosen according to the legend that Genghis Khan found a whip in this area. In Mongolia, people believe that man finding a whip is a sign of fortune, good destiny, and occasion.
The statue faces east, the direction of Genghis Khan's birthplace, and the sunrise. If you stretch your eyes to the east, you will see a small statue of his mother greeting him.

Gorkhi terelj national park and we are going to hike the turtle rock
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Gorkhi Terelj National Park, Gorkhi Terelj National Park, Tov Province
Turtle Rock, ”Melkhii Khad”, is a surprising granitic formation, 24 metres (79 feet) high, whose form reminds of a turtle. Its old name was Mungut Khad.
Located at the foothills of a mountain covered of pines, this rocky formation is incontestably a photo opportunity while you’re on the road for Terelj. There, it’s possible to rent horses, and during the summer, you can also find souvenirs’ sellers. It’s a good starting point for a small walk (about one hour) that will lead you until the centre of meditation of Aryaval or in the most remote places of the park.
If you move a few kilometres forward on the main road that leads to Terelj Village, you will also be able to see on your right the formation called ”the old man reading”.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Ariyabal Meditation Temple, Gorkhi Terelj National Park Mongolia
t’s located within Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, about 10 kilometres (6,21 miles) from the entrance. From the turtle rock, you can make a pleasant hike (about 45 minutes).
Located on the hillside of a mountain covered with larches and granite rock, Aryaval meditation centre will delight the travellers. To reach the temple, you will have to pass a small wooden bridge on which a sign tells: ”the bridge that leads beyond wisdom”.
The main temple is dedicated to Kalachakra philosophy, ”wheel of time”. The temple contains a thangka representing the myth of the Shambhala (a thangka is a painting on cotton or silk; Shambhala is, according to Buddhist philosophy, a fabulous place hidden somewhere in Asia), a Kalachakra mandala, and other objects bound to this belief. On the ground floor of this building, you can admire a ”gallery of Buddhist philosophy”, with 220 original paintings of the artist Bayantsagaan representing the different belief and Buddhist philosophy.

Great value for the money! The tour takes all day but covers a lot of things that we wouldn’t otherwise have been able to organize without our own transportation. Communication was good, comfortable vehicle and fun group mates. We were given plenty of time at the various stops to explore on our own. Highly recommended!

I had the best experience ever with my tour guide Bayar, he’s very kind helpful and always friendly.
He helped everyone so much, took extra time, translated, taught us about Mongolian history. I can say it was by far my best tour I’ve ever went to. 10/10!!! Thanks Bayar

As I had only 3 days in Mongolia, I was worried that I could see a real life in Mongolian people and nature. Watching previous reviews. I decided to book this tour and my decision was right. Team leader (guide), he speaks English fluently (better than me!), kind and always helpful and he knows very well about history of Mongolia. For me , since I came UB alone, he helped me taking photos of me and he took em very well. And the places that we visited was magnificent every single places. Of course, I was able to feel how the nature of Mongolia is, that you can’t feel it when you are in the city. Thanks to him, I had the best day while staying in.
Actually I improvised travel to Mongolia just for curiosity and I booked a plane ticket right before departure. So my family and friends asked me everytime why are you going there instead of other destinations. I guess I can answer it very well. Thank again for making unforgettable experiences.
